You Didn’t Want it, But You’re Getting it Anyways- Cannibals!

Remember a long, long time ago when we posted this news story from Kassel, Germany, where a German computer expert confessed to killing a man and eating the flesh of an Internet acquaintance? Even better, the man he ate requested to be eaten? We got so much hate mail for posting that story and I had to stop my new column before it even took off. Well guess what? A movie entitled Butterfly, a Grimm Love Story is being based off of the story! Read on for the scoop…Real life killer Bernd Juergen Brandes pictured at the right.
